From the recording The Marvelous Mister Wasco
Lyrics
Because you said, “hello”
‘Cause all it took to fall in love with you was a cliché
“Please stay the night,” I said timidly
Then you smiled and my heart did fly
That’s why I know the color of the rain
Those late nights on the phone
when every word carried on your breath was a bouquet
“This feels like home,” you’d tell me
Oh my world was in your eyes
That’s why I know, I know - the color of the rain
The color of the rain
as it falls from my eyes
I can’t escape the pain
of the love you left behind
the love you left behind
Now I sit alone
‘cause all it takes to fall apart
is to hear your name
I lost my world, it was buried
Much too late to say goodbye
That’s why I know the color of the rain
